How Long Does A Propane Generator Take To Engage?

Written on: March 22, 2021

Did you know that power outages are twice as common today as they were 10 years ago?

Aging transmission grids and power plants – combined with more intense weather events and a greater-than-ever demand for electricity – has left our homes and businesses vulnerable to a loss of power that can be inconvenient at best and dangerous (and costly) at worst.

That’s why now, more than ever, we think a propane standby generator is one of the best investments you can make in your Pennsylvania home.

Near-Instant Power Retrieval

Unlike a gas-powered portable generator, which needs to be connected and started before each use, a backup generator integrates permanently with your home’s electrical system and – if it has enough capacity – with your home HVAC system. When the grid goes down, the generator engages almost instantly – usually within 30 seconds – to power up your appliances.

Generators Are No Longer A Luxury

In the past, having backup power on-hand was a luxury for most homeowners. But today – especially with all the changes the pandemic has brought into our lives – having a reliable source of power has become a necessity. By starting up instantly when power from the grid is interrupted, a propane backup generator will enable you to:

• Keep working or studying from home – With so many of us earning our livelihood – or our degree – from home, an interruption in electric service can set us back for weeks.
• Keep your family protected – With many of our loved ones at home during the pandemic, using at-home medical equipment to treat conditions that keep them healthy, backup power can literally be a life saver.
• Keep your property protected – Electricity doesn’t just keep the lights on – it keeps protective devices like sump pumps working. Lose those invaluable pieces of equipment and you could suffer thousands of dollars in property damage from severe weather.
• Keep your food fresh – A back-up generator will keep your refrigerators and freezers on to keep hundreds of dollars of food from spoiling.
